Gloria Ann (Ranallo) Mattioda, 89, of Hartshorne, OK passed away on January 1, 2022, at her home surrounded by family. Born August 9, 1932, in Hartshorne, she was the daughter of Lige and Anna Ranallo. Gloria started her career as a telephone operator for Southwestern Bell Telephone, but her strong devotion to her Catholic Faith inspired her aspiration to become a nun and she was accepted into Saint Philomena’s Technical School, Saint Louis, MO, in October 1951. However, her life’s calling changed when she met Tony Mattioda, who would become her husband of more than 62 years. Tony and Gloria were married on November 16, 1952 and had eight children. Gloria worked as a librarian and bookkeeper for the Hartshorne Public School system for 19 years, in addition to managing the family’s full-service gas station.
